Hi Vivianna. First off, to your comment that VmWare fusion 6.2 won't work with Yosemite, that isn't true. I have the latest versions of Yosemite and Fusion 6 and Fusion 6 works great for me with Yosemite. Secondly, have you done a permissions repair lately? I find that when you do this, most of

For me, I repair permissions every software update, more so nowadays because I'm a part of the public beta program. As for Fusion, there's no work around. If you have Fusion version 6.0.5 or higher, it should work for Yosemite. If I'm not mistaken, the release notes for 6.0.5 stated that it was

Restarting a computer will fix a lot of strange issues. I upgraded a few days ago as well, but I reformatted my drive and installed from scratch. I decided not to reinstall Fusion, I no longer have any need for Windows. Original message: hi all, so, i decided to upgrade from mavericks to the

Personally I do a disk permissions repair every 2 weeks or so , along with a scan of Clean My Mac utility which seems to keep things nicely topped up and in shape. Despite the frequent repairs there are often issues found and I would never leave it for 4 months. In relation to Fusion I too,

I too wonder how you fool Vmware 6 into thinking it can work with Yosemite, ever since the first betas, i’ve got the error that Vmware 6 can not work on Yosemite but if someone has a workaround for this i’d be a very happy camper. /Krister 5 feb 2015 kl. 16:36 skrev David Griffith
